Chapter 1148
[ 584 words ]
Stella herself still found it unbelievable that he had brought a woman home.
She cleared her throat. “He said that on the way back from dropping Octavius off in Kerr City, the girl got into the wrong car and just slept in the backseat the whole way.”
Yvonne raised an eyebrow. “Slept the whole way?”
Stella nodded. “Yeah.”
“We’re talking about Idris, right, babe?” Yvonne’s skepticism returned in full force. “Do I even need to mention how insanely high his situational awareness is?”
Stella nodded again. “I know, but that’s exactly what happened.”
As for why Idris hadn’t noticed someone in his backseat, that remained a complete mystery.
Yvonne’s tone turned serious. “Has everything about her background been thoroughly investigated?”
At a time like this, they couldn’t be blamed for being paranoid.
With Stella and Ronald’s wedding right around the corner, everyone was on high alert.
Yvonne was especially defensive against Berry, guarding against her like she was a deadly plague.
She had given a direct order to keep the woman trapped in Novaderma.
Stella smiled warmly. “He checked everything, don’t worry. And after Ronald’s
warning just now, Idris will be even more careful.”
No matter what kind of troublemakers lurked in the shadows, tomorrow’s wedding would go off without a hitch.
Yvonne nodded in relief.
She figured that since it had caught Ronald’s attention, Idris would handle the situation with extreme caution.
Just as she finished her thought, her phone began to buzz.
It was Mona Haig.
“I need money. Send me some funds right now,” Mona demanded, though she tried her hardest to sound polite to Yvonne.
Berry desperately needed cash for her situation.
But Xander had made it clear that Yvonne controlled all the finances.
Having to beg Yvonne for money felt utterly humiliating for Mona, but she had no other choice.
Yvonne scoffed. “Money? Until we completely figure out the depth of your relationship with Berry, you aren’t getting a single cent from me.”
Mona was left speechless.
The line went dead silent.
Yvonne added smoothly, “And I’m sure Tristan feels the exact same way.”
Using Tristan’s name felt particularly sarcastic right now.
In the past, whenever Yvonne brought him up, Mona would absolutely lose her mind.
And now was no exception.
Tristan’s stance… would naturally align with this.
“Yvonne, you’re truly ruthless. Do you have any idea what Ronald did to the Schultz family back then?”
Mona thought back to the family’s former glory.
All of it had been reduced to ashes by Ronald Quinn, simply because of what Regina had done to Stella.
And how did it end?
Stella was living perfectly fine in Portis City, while Regina was crippled and rotting in a prison cell.
Meanwhile, the Schultz family was left in a state of agonizing limbo.
“The Schultz family is already in shambles, yet you still refuse to let us go. Why are you so hellbent on destroying us?”
Mona screamed hysterically into the phone.
She remembered how wonderful things used to be. Regina marrying Ronald was supposed to be a powerful alliance.
Instead? The Schultz family
collapsed, while the Quinn
family which had been on the verge of run was single-handedlyo
propped back Ronald
Today, the Quinn family was the undisputed overlord of Ferrowland.
And yet, Yvonne was still relentlessly crushing whatever meager scraps the Schultz
family had left.
Yvonne’s voice was icy. “No, you’re wrong. We aren’t targeting the
Schultz family. W
Schertz
family.
We are exclusivel
targeting Regina, and you
Mona froze.
Yvonne continued, “As for the Schultz family, everything Ronald stripped from them back then,
gave to me. And that means t
belongs to me and Xander
“So, Mona, despite all your desperate scheming, the entire Schultz family still
belongs to Xander. You won’t get a damn thing.”
Mona stammered, “You… you…”
Xander’s? The Schultz family… still belonged to Xander?
